Darn it all!
I'm really bummed about Ryan Choi. He was such a fun character, I'm really going to miss him.

Action Figure Commentary: Stargirl and Cyclone
I'm looking at my new Stargirl and Cyclone action figures.
Um, that Cyclone is one terrifyingly tall drink of water (the top of Stargirl's head comes up to her chin), and from the slits in her dress I'm guessing her wind powers provide onlookers the Marilyn Monroe effect more often than not. Nice upswept hair, though. But where's her hat? Didn't she have an awesome hat? And doesn't she have freckles?
Stargirl I have no complaints about, design-wise.
Neither is particularly articulated, but they're pretty. Girl superheroes in sensible shoes are always welcome at our house. Just don't stand them next to each other or you get the freakish height difference.
